I enjoyed this book, especially Armstrong's way of swinging a hatchet with such ferocity, but still coming off like Aunt Bea from Mayberry. I agree with her whole-heartedly how our culture too harshly judges Paul. But not at the expense of Scripture. Why is it so hard to believe that Jesus and Paul can teach two sides of the same coin? Why does the Bible have to be dismantled because you want only one side of reality to be real? I believe that the writings were interpreted poorly in several places, especially in the King James Version. But, just like the mercy of God and the justice of God, these two things balance each other to reveal a more robust reality.Armstrong says in the first line of Chapter 1,"Luke's account of the descent of the Spirit on the Jewish festival of Pentecost may not be historically accurate..." Wow. Not a good way to start. If it isn't accurate, why bother? On page 21, she says,"Reading between the lines of Luke's narrative..." That is code for,"Now I'm going to give my opinion based on, well, my opinion."Is it possible for me to agree with most of her conclusions, yet none of her reasoning?Imagine this. I am a history teacher and I write a book. You read that book and are convinced that it isn't historically accurate. Would you then go on to write a book yourself about my history book that you don't think is historically accurate? Huh? Luke tells us up front that he is writing a history book. Based upon eye witness testimony. You don't have to believe him. But if you don't, then why use him as a source at all? It simply seems rife with cherry picking the parts you agree with and inventing "later writers" to conveniently be the bad guys who changed it.Overall, Armstrong brings some good meat to chew on. I just believe it is difficult to undermine the foundation of the house in which you seek to live.
Though not primarily a scholar of early Christianity, over the years I've been impressed by Paul and by the scholars who've sought to disentangle him from his unhelpful "disciples"; such scholars include J.D. Crossan and Marcus Borg, associated with the Jesus Seminar circle and Robert Anderton-Kelly, influenced by the valuable anthropological ideas of Rene Girard. Armstrong belongs more with the former group than the Girardians. What I find especially useful in this book is her account of how the institutional heirs of Paul corrupted step by step the egalitarian thrust of Paul's original message exploiting, among other things, the latent conqueror frame that Paul himself employed in one of his authentic letters (his description of the Parousia of Christ). Bravo, Karen Armstrong!
Very well researched documentation of Paul's journey, tribulations and trials to established the 'church' (as we have come to know it). It contributes greatly to establishing the historical context of Jesus's travail in the Roman Empire and the competing 'gospels' and 'appropriate forms of worship' among early 'Christian practitioners'. It is a read that is rich in portraying the political challenges of the early 'church' (essentially Jewish scattered throughout the Roman Empire) reminding us that Jesus, Paul, the disciples during his time had no intention of creating 'Christianity' as we know/practice it today. It is not easy reading but richly informed.
As Armstrong notes in the title, Paul is the saint we love to hate. Her book cuts through the history and presents both the story of Paul himself as well as the difficulties of "The Church" as it moved from a ground level movement of Judaism, to a sect of Gentiles and finally into an established part of the late Roman Empire. Paul, edited, plagiarized, and co-opted is what we have today and that Paul is self-contradictory and misunderstood.Is Armstrong the ultimate authority? No. However, she provides a more logical context for looking again at what Paul actually wrote and what was presented in his name. She also returns to her common theme that it was "The Golden Rule" (often presented in the negative voice - "Do not do to others that which you would not have done to you") that was the foundation of the early Church and what drew many gentiles into the Jesus Movement that eventually became the church that we know today.
I hadn't been a big fan of the Apostle Paul and truthfully, the jury is still out. But I understand his writings, their setting and the issues (both Paul's and the addressees) much better than before. And I like Paul better.Somehow I got the narrated edition, with Karen Armstrong herself reading. That is a treat in and of itself. Good stuff, for sure.
Very accessible intro to recent scholarship on Paul from a center-left scholarship perspective. Does a great job of debunking Paul as a quintessential misogynist, and instead argues that he was a perceptive man ahead of his time, even if he is behind our time. This would be a great read in an intro NT class to understand the historical-cultural background of Paul, and his radical social and economic positions against the Roman Empire.
We read this book as a Sunday School class. I thought it was outstanding, learned a lot about Paul's life, and the circumstances under which he wrote several of his letters. The book provides a clear understanding of who Paul was, and why he believed and wrote what he did.My only nit was that I expected more point-by-point analysis of defending Paul on the subjects that people tend to hold against him: the misogyny, violence, etc. There was some of that, but not very much.But again, that's a small nit. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has read Paul's letters in the New Testament, but is far from a scholar on the historical circumstances.
